Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously directed staff to prepare an ordinance expanding where medical marijuana can be grown in the city. Currently, licensed collectives can only cultivate in a few zoning areas, but this change would add three new types of districts: heavy manufacturing, industrial, and some commercial zones. The ordinance will also limit commercial cultivation to three dispensaries and must go through the Planning Commission for approval. This gives medical marijuana businesses more location options while maintaining regulatory control over the industry.
